Li Xun whispered, "What are the special circumstances around the prince recently?"

"No, the prince is very low-key recently and rarely goes out to the Prince's East Palace."

Xiao Lezi shook her head and said with a smile.

Li Xun looked at him silently without saying a word. After a moment, under Li Xun's gaze, the smile on Xiao Lezi's face slowly dissipated and finally turned into a bitter smile: "Brother Li, you know the rules in the palace. People who talk a lot often don't live long."

Li Xun said in a deep voice: "Xiao Lezi, I'm not making things difficult for you. I asked about the prince and had no unfair intentions. I just wanted to know something about me. I'm so sad."

Xiao Lezi remained silent. After a long time, she sighed: "Brother Li, you may feel even more uncomfortable if you know something."

Li Xun said silently: "I want to know the truth."

Xiao Lezi looked around and then whispered: "Three days before you return to Beijing, the prince secretly told Your Majesty..."

Walking on the way out of the palace, Li Xun seemed a little lost. The expression on his face was sometimes laughing, sometimes angry, and sometimes sad, extremely complicated. There was a deep sadness in his eyes, and his heart felt like he was blocked by something, so uncomfortable that he could not breathe out.

Li Xun led a large army to conquer the Western Regions, and finally won a great victory and achieved brilliant results. The news came back to the Central Plains. The world was shocked, some were happy, and some were worried. Then, a force began to be stirred up in the court, intending to squeeze Li Xun out of Longyou and seize the fruits of victory between Longyou and the Western Regions. During the explosion of this force, Prince Zhao Xun did nothing and almost let it go. Instead, Zhao Zhi protected Li Xun to a certain extent and gave Li Xun a lot of compensation as much as possible. In Li Xun's view, he was a staunch supporter of Prince Zhao Xun. Because of Li Yi's relationship, the two had an unsatisfied relationship. It was a prosperous and both of them lost. When something happened to him, Prince Zhao Xun should have all his strength to protect him, but the result of the matter was not like this, which made Li Xun puzzled.

After the outbreak of the poisoning incident of the Wing King, the Crown Prince Zhao Xun asked to see Zhao Zhi many times, but was always turned away. About a month ago, Li Yi had cooked in person, hoping to ease the relationship between Zhao Zhi and Zhao Xun and his son in the name of a family dinner, but was rejected by Zhao Zhi.

This incident is not a big secret. Hu Zengsi had already passed the news to Longyou to let Li Xun know.

Li Xun met Zhao Zhi today. Li Yi cooked in person and held a banquet to greet him. Zhao Xun then arrived. Under Li Yi's plea, Zhao Zhi reluctantly summoned Zhao Xun. All this seemed accidental and coincidental. Li Xun also thought so at the beginning. What is important is that Li Xun regards them as family members and his own people. He doesn't think so much at all, and there is no need to, but the actual situation is that he is too naive.

Li Yi's previous practice was rejected by Zhao Zhi. Obviously, this method did not work and was not accepted by Zhao Zhi. Why did Li Yi do something that would not work repeatedly? Aren't he afraid of being bored by Zhao Zhi? Li Yi is not that stupid. Zhao Zhi is the emperor. Even if Li Yi is favored, she will never, and she will not dare to force Zhao Zhi with her own will.

There is only one reason, that is, before this, Li Yi was very sure that this time was different from the previous one. Zhao Xun came, and Zhao Zhi would not disappear.

After Zhao Xun came, he had almost no conversation with Zhao Zhi, which was completely unreasonable. Zhao Zhi had no desire to talk, and Zhao Xun was the same? This was absolutely impossible. After the Wing King was poisoned, he finally met Zhao Zhi after several months. This was so commendable for Zhao Xun. Why did he also remain silent? During the whole dinner, he was silent, just eating and drinking silently.

Zhao Zhi didn't ask, and Zhao Xun didn't say anything, there was only one possibility. Before that, the two of them had already communicated, and some ideas and thoughts had reached an agreement, and the misunderstanding was basically resolved. So when we met, Zhao Zhi didn't need to ask, and Zhao Xun didn't need to say anything. Perhaps, because of Li Xun's presence, it was hard for them to say.

Xiao Lezi is a very clever and modest person. Because of Li Xun, he was promoted by Li Yi and began to develop gradually. However, Xiao Lezi did not become arrogant and domineering and arrogant, but became more and more low-key and cautious. He tried his best to curry favor with Wan Niang, a confidant palace maid who was close to Li Yi, and eventually recognized him as his adopted mother. Because of this relationship, Wan Niang would occasionally say good things to Xiao Lezi in Li Yi's ears. Li Yi accepted Xiao Lezi as her confidant and began to entrust her with important tasks.

Xiao Lezi returned to Fengjing a few days earlier than Li Xun. After meeting Zhao Zhi and Li Yi, he had a dinner with Wanniang. It was during that dinner that Wanniang told Xiao Lezi some extremely secret news.

More than a month ago, the news that Li Xun won a complete victory in the Western Regions was sent back to Fengjing, and the court was shocked. This was undoubtedly very good news for officials of the Crown Prince's Party. Therefore, Zhao Xun asked his mother to ease the relationship with Zhao Zhi, but the final result was that Li Xun's huge victory did not improve the relationship between Zhao Zhi and Zhao Xun, and the relationship between the father and son was still subtle.

Then, because of the prince's hiddenness, the opposition forces in the court had no goal. The political situation that had just calmed down was shocked again because of Li Xun. The forces of the Yang family and the Wing King began to target Li Xun and gradually launched increasingly large attacks.

Under such circumstances, the prince's party did not move at all. As the current situation develops, Zhao Zhi's attitude gradually began to change subtly from the initial excitement and strong appreciation of Li Xun. At this time, Zhao Xun secretly reported to Zhao Zhi that although Li Xun had made great contributions, his military power was too heavy, and he should be stopped immediately and he must not give up on nature, so as not to lose his power. In addition, because Li Xun was Li Yi's nephew, Li Yi became the empress dowager in the future, and Li Xun's military power was too strong. With his relatives, it would be difficult to check and balance. He should prepare early and seize his military power.

Zhao Xun's letter this time received a reply and affirmation from Zhao Zhi. Zhao Xun immediately wrote another letter, suggesting that Li Xun be transferred back to Fengjing. After Longyou is completely accepted, Li Xun will be transferred to Lingnan immediately. He will never return to Beijing in this life, and will completely eliminate the troubles of foreign relatives in the future.

Li Yi knew all this, which was why after saying goodbye to Zhao Zhi, Li Yi was quite cold to Zhao Xun and asked him to leave first. Then she had a very profound reminder that Li Xun should never go to Lingnan, because it might be difficult to come back after leaving.
